Great budget seatpost!

I needed a new seatpost for my new saddle because the old seatpost had top and bottom saddle adjustment screws that worked well with my old split saddle but not with the new one piece saddle. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I didn't want to weigh too much either, since the new Brooks C17 saddle was significantly heavier. Found this by accident and thought I'd give it a try. My 27.2 350mm post weighs 213.5g. My old post weighed 311.2 g. The carbon post weighs 144.5g without hardware and 68.6g with hardware. The diameter of the brace is 27.1mm and I had no trouble installing it or tightening the cuff. I used Finish Line Fiber Grip to keep the rack from twisting and shifting. The carbon material is quite thick compared to my other carbon pens, but not much heavier. It seems very strong and solid. The overall finish is quite pleasant. Looks beautiful. I would have preferred the matte UD finish but the gloss 3K weave matches the other of my carbon parts like the head spacer and handlebar accessory holder. There is a nice color transition from the aluminum hardware to the carbon post from all black to carbon weave. Overall, it's incredibly expensive and lighter than most high-end aluminum bars. I am really impressed.
